Birthstones

Birthstone Background:

Many people decide to go with jewelry that combines several birth stones into one item, a birthstone bracelet, for example. Others prefer single stones. The birthstone chart, below, will take you to either an article or a merchant site where you can get more information on that particular birth stone.

Star Sign Stones

The Star Sign stone chart below offers another slant on birthstones/planetary relationships. Instead of being linked to the various months, these stones are linked to the stars. These are not stones with stars in them, such as the star sapphire, but stones that are linked to the stars.
Clicking on each star stone link provides specific gemstone pictures/products, care instructions, mystical properties, and lots more.
